Back in July, during the F35 Mass Rebuild, the Free Pascal Compiler package failed to build [1] because of linking issues on aarch64, i686 and ppc64le, related to the new glibc 2.34. x86_64 and arm we unaffected, however. This was discussed briefly here on devel in thread [2]. The issue was submitted upstream [3], but so far, there has been little response. In order to avoid retiring FPC (and all the other dependent packages) from Fedora due to the FTBFS issue, we want to temporarily disable support for the failing architectures (aarch64, i686 and ppc64le), leaving only the working ones (arm and x86_64). Once either upstream solves the issue, or we come up with Fedora-specific patches, these architectures can be bootstrapped and re-enabled. Since these issues are architecture-specific and solving them would likely involve editing upstream assembly code, I created separate RHBZ tickets for tracking each architecture separately: - aarch64: [4] - i686: [5] - ppc64le: [6] Let me know if this seems like a sensible plan, or if you have some other ideas. (In [2], a workaround solution was proposed. This didn't work. See [6] for details.) If we can't come up with anything else, I'll go through with this plan before the end of the month. Sincerely, A.FI.
